Firstly, welcome to the forum but I believe your lack of English language skills is effecting your ability to understand the debate. I have absolutely no fucking clue what meaning that plate full of alphabeti spagetti, I quoted above, is supposed to convey.

Hey, piss off. What Altair wrote was perfectly readable. Maybe you're just retarded. I see also, that your very first post welcomes Altair to the forum. Just before you insult him. What the fuck?

S/he was just satirizing a ridiculous incident on the A+ forum. No harm done.

Oh, and JayTeeAitch why don't you fuck off back where you came from?

Yeah, it would be great if the ignore option blanked out "foe" quotes in replies as well. I am well past bored with that obvious fucking troll.

It's a nice thing that I did for Altair. They'll thank me in the end - if the mods let them back in!

Also, It may be my first post but I've been lurking for a good 3 hours.

SN: satire, maybe? Like that other fucker at A+ insulting somreone for their lack of English mastering? That's the way I took it, anyway.

Well, that's where a smiley would have been useful. One of these maybe: I thought this guy was someone following Altair around on the net, and trolling/bugging him, since it was the first post for both of them.

Altair actually alluded to the A+ forum incident in his post. I couldn't resist.

I have a hard time skyping one of my musicians who lives in Montreal. We have to repeat stuff about 3 times and even type them to understand each others somertimes.

Calice!

"nonante"? One of the most logical Belgian disambiguations, I'd say.

Oh, I see...

Call me old-fashioned, but I like a dump to be as memorable as it is devastating.

his·tor·i·cal (h-stôr-kl, -str-) adj.1.a. Of or relating to the character of history. b. Based on or concerned with events in history. c. Used in the past: historical costumes; historical weapons.2. Important or famous in history. See Usage Note at historic.3. Diachronic.

di·a·chron·ic (d-krnk) adj.Of or concerned with phenomena, such as linguistic features, as they change through time.

So, in point of fact, many of the posts that get memory-holed are in fact both historical and diachronic. They certainly might not be important historical documents, but that's up to the interpretor of view anyway.

Gack, I really hate it when people like Umbridge, and those other vile cow-clowns like InSvanity and Toiletbowl, try to post explanations of language, diction, grammar, and so on, when they probably couldn't pass a college-level English entrance exam.

Do you have an unwanted infestation of rodents or small birds? No? Then what the fuck do you want a cat for?

...well, besides buying "feeder finches" and the local pet store, telling them why you buy three or four small birds every week and watching the horror dawn on their faces. Actually, that works pretty well for feeder rats, too. For some fucking reason, people who are perfectly fine with you feeding live rats to a snake lose their shit at the idea of feeding the same rats to a cat.

Personally, I am of the opinion that moderation is mediocrity. We neither remember, nor are remembered for, the things we do only a little.

ps. Gretas trigger-woes considering her BDSM erotica is quite hilarious. You'd think that people who have problem with BDSM erotica simply wouldn't buy a book containing BDSM stories... but I guess that would take the capability of being responsible for your own actions?

Nah, we need warning labels on books!

Attacks on Scott and I

Guilty until proven innocent! ...and the typical nonsense strawman "sexism isn't the problem talking about it is" which reeks of asserting something that is in question or otherwise disputed without actually providing reasons why this is the case - par for the course from the A+/FTB crowd

Same stuff...and what reeks to be demands of proving a negative or something absurd - We won't believe the non-controversial idea that you stand for equality until we see your actions...because, of course, you know, Schrodinger's misogynist and all. You're with us or you hate women!!11one

LOL. Given that she's learning her science from DVDs and podcasts, you cannot expect too much from her. This is not SA but is related to that whole "intersection between art and science" bullshit discourse.

The skeptical ladies had this party where they were trying to do kewl stuff while being sciency (cause, yay science!) and served drinks that glowed under a blacklight. So B12 glows under a blacklight...whoopee doo!...teeth, dandruff and cat piss also glow under a blacklight...

That guy is a little bitch.He blocked over twitter because I gave him a link proving that Christian will help an atheist after he said that no Christian will ever help an atheist.

I think it was around the time a church was vandalized with anti-theist graffiti and some atheists cleaned it up or something.

I'm more concerned with the "what's the problem with rape" from "Commensense" - troll, poe, or what?

But really, Nanny Phee - get out in the real world more. It has things like dead rats, and hobos, and smells, and all the glorious trials of a non-sterile sheltered world. That was worth a blog post? How desperate for traffic is she?

What is with these people and their prediliction for drama? Was it really necessary to ask such a leading, obviously shit-stirring question at the moment of Scott Rhoades' announcement as the new co-chair? Then for their many complaints about derailing discussions, Adam Lee stirs the pot some more. I really don't like these people.

A bit similar, one of our textbooks was this one. Obviously the jargon was the same, and the ideas, but it didn't go into quite so crazy areas as that...

Though, it got me rather pissed of at one point, when one of the authors discuss the recent development with girls and women doing better in school/universities than boys and men. It turned into half a chapter of pointing out how women in developing countries have it worse, that it's hypocritical since no one cared when the girls had it worse during the 50s, and that the real problem is just patriarchy and aged views of masculinity anyway. Basically, the clear message as, you're a bit of a asshole if you care about this, and if you still care about it, it's the patriarchy's and bad views on masculinity that is the reason (this also causes men's violence against women!!! yes, they managed to sneak that in there too).

Actually kinda funny when our class were doing the gender/feminism stuff, I knew what was coming since I was fairly familiar with the more crazy kind of academia feminism since earlier, but my female classmates (we were 2 guys and around 10-15 women) actually reacted to it all and expressed their sympathies, along the lines of "these courses gotta suck for you, they are really pointing the finger and blaming it all on the males, aren't they?".

Just for the record, so that no one get the wrong ideas, I'm not a MRA (though I see why some people are), nor am I completely anti-feminism, they've managed to get a lot of good things done. I'm just not very fond of the bat shit insane kind of feminism you find in academia and art journalism, ie. the kind that can openly praise the SCUM manifest in national media, and makes the Swedish Research Council give a $100,000 research grant to a 3-year project named "The trumpet as a gender-symbol".

ps. A question about art journalists, is it the same international? Swedish art journalists are, in general, feminist Marxists that have 1-2 pages in any paper where spend just as much time writing about communism/socialism, feminism, racism, and pretty much anything that strikes their fancy, as they do actually reviewing art. Not that I'm complaining to much, it's awesome entertainment sometimes, like when one of them made the case that the Smurf village was basically a ideal communist state. But still, I'd like to know, is it the same thing in other countries, or is this a Swedish phenomena?

The smurf village? The home of the 1 female to however many male smurfs there were? I can see Papa Smurf as Papa Fidel, but...wtf? Of course, from what I heard on a trivia game, Smurfette was created by Gargamel to destroy them somehow, so that would mean the smurfs are an all-male race.
